Oh yeah....way to get back on track...nice win continued dominance vs. Big 10,  and confidence builder.  When was the last time we  not ranked top 25, TennZip or ME87?

 

Sometime last season, I believe. I really don't follow the polls. RPI rules in men's soccer. This will be a very nice RPI bump. Way to go Zips.

Skye and Morgan Hackworth really pushed the ball when there was an opportunity.   Strachan really stepped in well at Center back.  Skye worked very hard to get off the great pass to Egbo for his goal.  Egbo should be rested and ready to key the zips to a mac win on Saturday.  Biros brought some good energy when he came in.

Nice win.

There is a Big10 app.  Can watch with TV provider log on. 

Raced home to catch the final 30.  Nice overall game for the Zips.  MSU not at their best, I have to think.  Though the Akron goals were surely legit.

 

The announcers were aware of Egbo's quality, and let the audience know.  Only question on their job was pronunciation of Diogo Pacheco's name.  Is the first name pronounced like "Jogo" (as in jogo bonito)?  :D

After the Denver away loss last year we fell out of the top 25.  And I think we were 0-2.  Not sure if this one win is enough to get us back in though -- gotta close out the season and win the MAC.

Our coaches call him Dee - oh - go, which I found is the Portugal Portuguese pronunciation. Jee - oh -go, I believe is the Brazil Portuguese pronunciation. If you listen to the video that ZipsVoice posted, it sounds like he says Joke. Pacheco told me he likes to be called Pacheco...so, I've never asked him the proper pronunciation of Diogo.

Thought I heard announcers say David was bit banged up??

 

That's what I heard them say. I  suspected if that was the case, we would see him late, if needed in a close game, which we did.

"Top to bottom we had a tremendous effort from everyone tonight," Akron head coach Jared Embick commented. "It was a team victory for us. Our seniors – Morgan (Hackworth), Ezana (Kahsay) and Ben (Lundt) were excellent and Skye (Harter) was awesome. I couldn't be more proud of our fight. We have a big game on Saturday and we need to focus on that game. I hope we can fill the hill and keep the momentum going."

Boo hoo hoo... 

 

How about the Zips having a lightning delay, downpour, and swampy field at BGSU, as well as a bus breakdown yesterday (I think, if I understood Micaletto's Instagram story correctly) 20 minutes outside of Akron on their way to East Lansing. Basically had 1 day back in Akron on Sunday and then on the bus again Monday. Who had more rest?

The young zips team should be very proud of all that they overcame....to get a road win.   They overcame an injury to Marco Milanese.   They have showed their toughness on the road at Grand Canyon, VCU and at Michigan State.  Grand Canyon had a win over the weekend over Seattle.     Morgan Hackworth is a battler and he is showing some senior leadership.  Skye had his best game this season.  Pol and Abdi have locked down the outside back positions.   Pacheco and Egbo will have fresh legs for Saturday.   This team can still accomplish a lot this year.
